Oldcastle APG University
Join us monthly for AIA-accredited webinars on modern solutions to the most pressing challenges in design, presented by experts from across the industry. We are pleased to offer courses on a variety of topics, each tied to one of Oldcastle's product groups: masonry, hardscapes, decking, fencing and more. From specification support to site planning to strategies to optimize the health and wellness of your occupants and beyond, APG U sessions offer up knowledge you need to succeed – and the LU and HSW credits you need to stay current.
Check out the current block of webinars below. A number of previous Oldcastle APG University courses have also been recorded and are available within the
Oldcastle APG Continuing Education Portal for on-demand learning purposes.
Thursday, May 8, 2025 1:00 PM | (UTC-04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) Masonry vs. the Storm – Building for Resilience
(1 LU | HSW)
Today's storms are more intense, more frequent and more deadly than ever before, making the design and construction of resilient buildings critical. The design of the building envelope – and the materials used – can be the difference between life and death.
This presentation will discuss how the strength and resiliency of masonry construction can help protect a building – and its occupants – from storm damage, return structures to use faster following a disaster and reduce the long-term cost of repairs.
Thursday, June 12, 2025 1:00 PM | (UTC-04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) CMU & Carbon - Not All Concrete is the Same
(1 LU | HSW)
This course explores how concrete masonry (CMU) structures absorb and store CO2, comparing Dry-Cast and Wet-Cast concrete. It covers the geologic carbon cycle, cement production, and recent industry test results on carbon sequestration in CMU assemblies. Presented by Nick Lange, VP of Engineering for the Concrete Masonry Hardscape Association.
